@ourdolly2002 You are right..it was PAUL Peterson that was on the Donna Reed Show...But this guy is Ray Peterson. Paul Peterson actually did have a couple of hits but nothing memorable..( No offense, Ray)
@garymichael1950 Just a small point: Paul is actually Paut Petersen with an E. His biggest hit was called MY DAD which got as high as #6 on the BILLBOARD Hot 100.
I remember listening to this as a little girl--probably around three or four years old. I never knew the name of the singer until now--he sounds quite different in this clip then the song I remember. I guess that's just the effects of aging. Thanks for posting this.
@williamlbarberjr be assured my friend,our beloved ones though in a far better place but they can hear our love words that we wanted to tell them but unfortunately we didn't,my deepest sympathies
is there anyone else who listens,enjoys,and cries his eyes out,it brought memories of the old me and for a moment i a'am 20 years younger,thank you for such an amazing song
Ray was the 'golden voice' of rock and roll. A dear friend for over 40 years. I believe this recording was part of the National Publc Television "At The Drive-in." Filmed in Austin, TX. 4 and a half octave range....Ray came from an era when you have to have actual 'talent' to get a recording contract. Now, it's all about marketing and sex appeal with an occasional 'real talent' managing to slip through the cracks. RIP Ray.
3:25 video: 1960 teenage tragedy song and #7 hit "Tell Laura I Love Her" written by Jeff Barry and Ben Raleigh; sung by Ray Peterson (April 23, 1939; Denton, Texas – January 25, 2005).
I used to listen to this when i was a 6 or so year old kid, i played it that much my next door neighbour ended up calling her new born Laura, such an emotional song and a welcome memory.
@Ilvcamusic you are more than welcome. It's nice to have someone nice to talk to. I gave my opinion to someone here once and we went at it. I wasn't being mean to the person just expressing my feelings. And she totally went off the wall name calling me. Some people are hateful here. I try to respect people's feelings and if I am wrong I will admit it. I am glad for the nice comment. thanks. take care and feel free to keep in touch
@hippyable Yea, that's fine! I am a baby boomer who loves all music. All the grandkids, 11 of them, love the oldies and when we take them with us, they can sing all the words to any song! We load them in our SUV & away we go singing at the top of our lungs!!
I met Ray in a used record shop in Oklahoma City in the 80's - he was traveling through town and stopped to buy a few of his old records for friends and family. I was fortunate to get his autograph on a 45 rpm single - though we only spoke for a few minutes I could tell that Ray was down to earth and a great guy!
Peterson died of cancer in 2005, in Smyrna, Tennessee, aged 65. He left a widow and four sons and three daughters. He was interred in the Roselawn Memorial Gardens cemetery in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
@kennbix I came here to listen to a great song and remember watching Ray live sharing the same stage with Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon, and another teen idol of the time who I cannot at the moment remember. It saddens me to discover via your message that Ray has passed on. I never heard the news until now. He was a gentleman then and I'm sure a gentleman to the end. I feel fortunate to have shared a moment in time with him. It's Thanksgiving tonight but suddenly I feel sad.
@rbheiss I saw you giving Freddie Boom Boom Cannon ablowjob years ago at a Tab Hunter concert.I also know that you were Charles Nelson Rileys Gay love interest for forty years.Its not Thanksgiving tonight but you sure know how to choke a chicken now dont you fucknuts?
@KidRockEatsSmegma Nah, you've got the wrong guy. I wouldn't be seen dead or alive at a Tab Hunter concert. You people over at the National Enquirer crack me up.
@rbheiss You are a former lover of Charles Nelson Riley though Rolland ..I read about this in his autobigraphy.He claims you taught him how to perform self felatio,group masterbation and anal cunnilingas.
Ya, 1960 and I had the hot's for a girl that lived across the street from me, Laura. Everytime this song played on WLS radio I would day dream that she wanted to run away with me. Then I would wake up and go to school. Oh what the hell!
wow this song is depressing. he practically sob's this song and its just creepy that at the last stanza, when shes in the church praying for him, she can still hear his haunting cries of how he still loves her and its just as creepy as it sounds
1960, 25,000 copies of the death-rock single "Tell Laura I Love Her" by Ray Peterson are destroyed by Decca Records after a critic deems the song "too tasteless and vulgar for English sensibility" … it is interesting to speculate what that critic may have made of Ozzy Osbourne or the Sex Pistols a little later on …
He later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and by the 1970s when the hit records stopped coming, Peterson became a Baptist Church minister and occasionally played the oldies music circuit.Peterson was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.Peterson died of cancer in 2005, in Smyrna, Tennessee, aged 65. He left a widow and four sons and three daughters. He was interred in the Roselawn Memorial Gardens cemetery in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Ray T. Peterson was born in Denton, Texas. As a boy he had to overcome polio. Blessed with a four octave singing voice, Peterson moved to Los Angeles, California where he was signed to a recording contract by RCA Victor Records in 1958.[2] He recorded several songs that were minor hits until "The Wonder of You" made it into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 15, 1959.[2] The song would later be recorded by Elvis Presley, with whom Peterson became a friend.
My girlfriend broke up with me more than a year ago. I still can't get her out of my mind. I can't even seem to fall for someone else, I just can't live without her.
I Miss you Ray... I was very Lucky to have known you and thanks for sharing your home with my wife and I after we would go to Church and hear you and your Wife Sing. I would give anything for Sundays like that again.
@sing2unify If you are the late Ray Peterson's daughter, thank you so much for sharing him with us!!! I really loved him as an entertainer and a gentleman !!!!! I was fortunate enough to meet him a long time ago when he came to Michigan!!!! I wish I could have been at this his last performance!! WHAT A MAN!!!!!
TenStarsplus !!!! RIP Ray thank you for posting this I heard was his last performance! He probably was already terminal but didn't want to let his fans down!!!! What a MAN !!!! And to his family thank you for sharing him with us !!!!!
This is a song of my father to my mom. Apparently , he died and my mom cried . Everytime she heard this song, she cried since his name is Tommy. The love of my father to my mom will never die.
Keith Whitley does a song called "Tell Lorrie I Love Her" which is totally different from this song except the first two lines of the chorus which are almost identical to the chorus of this song.
Nice to see Ray Peterson at his old age here! Hmm...it reminds me of the late Sinn Sisamouth, a well-known Cambodian singer in the1960s and 70s, killed in Khmer Rouge Regime.
Thanks for your reply. I think you are right about that sad history even though I was born after the 1980s! Reading Khmer Civil War history books so far, I can see clearly that American was a war-starter in Cambodia in that time. I now hate the American foreign policy to Cambodia, but love listening to American songs anyhow.
I love this song so much Ricky Valance and Ray Peterson sing this song so well . Ray has an amazing singing voice so does Ricky. I wonder what Ray Peterson is up to now? This song is a sweet love song I always listen to it when I am feeling upset and when I have a painful heartache and this song always cheers me up and makes me feel better and sometimes this song always makes me cry too. It's a nice love song. I love this song, Ray and Ricky forever and I always will. 10000 stars. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gene Chandler has not been heard from lately; the Duke of Earl; like Ray, gone to his reward. Candler's last video was dated 2006, and he was at the end of the trial.
My grandfather was born in 1900 to a lady called Laura aka Laura Heslop real name unknown possibly from cheshire who abandoned him we beleive after 1911. He tried to make contact with her in adult life but she would not see him. This song came out before he died in 1963 and he would sing it for her.
Great, Great song. I'm only 20 year-old, and the song was created way before I was, but I just adote both this song and the singer who can sing it in such a way that you can hear sadness in his voice.
in germany 1979, you saw good movies in the cinema. the name of this videos is Eis am Stiel. in this videos, all funny movies, you can listen a lot of a kind of this music, including this song from ray petrson., tell laura i love her. many regards, eike
My mom used to listen to this song as long with The Platters's Only You every sunday afternoon and i always loved them songs even if i did not quite understand then how strong and sad they were at least tell laura is!!!
ray Peterson was a great guy, This song and Corrina Corinna were both popular arounf 1964 my senior year in High School, unfortunitly ray passed away in my hometown and His Smyrna, Tn on jan 25,2005, ray had cancer, Franklinfr62

I love this song so much Ricky Valance and Ray Peterson sing this song so well . Ray has an amazing singing voice so does Ricky. I wonder what Ray Peterson is up to now? This song is a sweet love song I always listen to it when I am feeling upset and when I have a painful heartache and this song always cheers me up and makes me feel better and sometimes this song always makes me cry too. It's a nice love song. I love this song, Ray and Ricky forever and I always will. 10000 stars. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gene Chandler has not been heard from lately; the Duke of Earl; like Ray, gone to his reward. Candler's last video was dated 2006, and he was at the end of the trial.

My grandfather was born in 1900 to a lady called Laura aka Laura Heslop real name unknown possibly from cheshire who abandoned him we beleive after 1911. He tried to make contact with her in adult life but she would not see him. This song came out before he died in 1963 and he would sing it for her.

Great, Great song. I'm only 20 year-old, and the song was created way before I was, but I just adote both this song and the singer who can sing it in such a way that you can hear sadness in his voice.

Cool song... I heard it for the first time a few weeks ago on the radio.
It´s rather old (1960s actually) but still beautiful, and very emotional too.

This song dates to the '50s, when the sport of stock-car racing was in its infancy. There were probably plenty of "dirty tricks" going on then.
